Chapter 1 Introduction
Chapter 2 Effect of impact load,
absorbed energy and contact impulse on the
deformation of DLC coating under impact
Chapter 3 Phase transformation of
DLC coating under cyclic impact loading
Chapter 4 Deformation-wear transition map of DLC coating under cyclic impact
loading
Identification of the most important impact
parameter from the viewpoint of mechanical
aspects that affects the deformation of DLC
coating by experimental approach and compared
with analytical solution. Clarification of impact
wear mechanisms of the DLC coating based on its
phase transformation after cyclic impacts by using
Raman spectroscopic analysis
Proposal of an empirical-based deformation-wear transition map of DLC coating under cyclic impacts in order to graphically distinguish between
the plastic deformation and impact wear of DLC coating as well as to predict its transition points for future design purposes.
Introduction to the suitability of DLC thin films for industrial needs and its tribological properties for sliding contact. Descriptions of impact wear of
metals and DLC coatings under severe wear conditions based on the previous studies. Stating the main purposes of this dissertation.
